CAUTION
If not in the process of changing gear, do not leave your hand on the gearshift
lever while driving. The pressure from the hand can cause the gearshift mech-
anism to wear excessively.
Pedals
The operation of the pedals must not be hindered under any circumstances!
Only a floor mat (ex-factory or from the ŠKODA Original Accessories range)
which can be secured to the attachment points should be used in the driver's
footwell.
WARNING
There should be no objects in the driver's footwell, otherwise the pedal op-
eration can be impeded - risk of accident!

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Select lever position
Manual shifting (Tiptronic)
Starting-off and driving
The automatic transmission changes gears automatically based on how the
engine and accelerator are being worked, the vehicle speed and the selected
driving mode.
The automatic transmission modes are set by the driver by means of the selec-
tor lever.

■
accident!
Never move the selector lever to mode R when driving – risk of accident!
■
Always firmly apply the handbrake before leaving the vehicle! Otherwise,
■
the vehicle could be automatically set in motion - there is a risk of acci-

Driving
CAUTION
When stopping on a slope, never try to hold the vehicle using the accelerator
pedal – this may lead to gear damage.
Note
The engine can only be left on in position N, when the brake pedal is de-
■
pressed .
If the selector lever position N is accidentally selected while driving, it is first
■
necessary to release pressure on the accelerator pedal and wait for the idling
speed of the engine to be reached before the selector lever can be engaged in
the drive position.
If the N symbol flashes next to the selector lever, engage the selector lever
■
position N.
